Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in MapServer before 4.10.3 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors involving the (1) processLine function in maptemplate.c and the (2) writeError function in mapserv.c in the mapserv CGI program.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old MapServer cross-site scripting issue in the mapserv CGI program before 4.10.3. A remote attacker could cause a user’s browser to run injected script or HTML through vulnerable template or error-handling paths. Business impact depends on whether legacy MapServer CGI endpoints are still exposed. Exposure is most likely in legacy GIS deployments running MapServer mapserv CGI before 4.10.3, especially internet-facing endpoints. The bundle does not provide complete product metadata, CPEs, or modern package mappings. Treat as a legacy exposure cleanup item. It is not supported here as actively exploited, but public-facing unpatched CGI services can create user-session and trust risks, especially on portals used by customers or partners. Mitigation focus: Upgrade MapServer to 4.10.3 or a vendor-fixed package.; Review Fedora and Debian advisories for distribution-specific fixed versions.; Restrict or disable exposed mapserv CGI endpoints until patched..
